manga because it gets to the point ... the anime is cute because we get to see it acted out but the anime misses a lot that is in the manga and they always add filler episodes ... BLAH ! ! ! ... oh and plus the manga makes Amu and Ikuto more of a couple ... and Ikuto is more of a good guy ... while the anime makes Ikuto out to be a really bad guy and hardly shows him =/

I like to read mangas more than I like to watch animes but for me, I think both are pretty good when it comes the the manga and anime for SHugo Chara! ... I love the anime because it makes the Ikuto and Amu moments so much more cuter ... but the manga is great too because there are no fillers ^_^ ... but since I don't speak or read japanese the translations take to long, I prefer the anime more (but even the subbing of the anime takes long too)
